Baking with cooking settings
Hot air
Preheating is not required – you can bake different things on different
levels at the same time.
Shelf levels:
1 tray: shelf level 2 from bottom
2 trays: shelf levels 1 and 4 from the bottom
When baking several fl at sponges or cakes in moulds the baking time is
extended by 5-10 minutes per tray.
Take out the trays individually, start with the more golden cakes fi rst.
Bake with hot air
at 160° C when the recipe that you are following
does not give instructions for hot air.
NB: For cakes garnished with moist fruits, the level of humidity will be
particularly high. Bake only one cake at a time.

out be extra crisp. Preheating time: 30 mins minimum!
Follow the instructions that come with the pizza stone.
Basic pizza recipe
250 g fl our, 20 g yeast, 125 ml warm water, 3 soup spoons of oil (olive),
salt.
Baking pizza on the oven tray
– Make leavened dough with the ingredients specifi ed.
– Leave the dough to stand until the volume has doubled (approximately
30 minutes).
– Knead the dough for a few minutes and leave to stand for a further 15
minutes.
– Start the oven setting
, the oven will preheat.
– Grease the oven tray.
If baking a small round pizza, put the tray in the oven to preheat too.
– Roll out the dough, place it on the oven tray and shape an edge.
– Cover the dough with the topping of your choice but do so quickly so
that the dough does not become too moist.
– Small pizzas: place the pizza bases on the preheated tray.
– Place the tray on shelf level 1 after the alarm sounds.
– After the door is closed, the 12-minute programme will start.
Baking the pizza on the stone
– Prepare the pizza dough as described above.
– Place the pizza stone on the grid shelf and put it on shelf level 1.
– Preheat the oven with heating mode
at 250°C for 30 mins.
– Place the dough on the fl oured pizza shovel and quickly cover it with the
topping so that it does not become too moist. The topped pizza should
not be on the pizza shovel for too long as the dough may stick to it.
– Once the oven is preheated, push the pizza from the shovel onto the
stone.
– Bake for 8-12 mins without changing the settings.
Instructions for the chart: Suggested baking
settings
The chart below features a selection of cakes and pastries with the
required temperatures, cooking times and shelf level for each case.
In most cases, the temperature range is specifi ed given that the
temperature depends largely on how the dough is made, the quantity
and the mould used.
We recommend that at the start you use the lower temperature and only
choose the higher temperature if necessary, e.g. if you require a more
intense golden colour or if the baking time is too long.
If you cannot fi nd instructions for a specifi c recipe, use instructions for
a similar cake or pastry.
Differences in the height of the food can result in differences in the
level of brownness. In such cases the temperature setting should not
be changed. Any difference in the brownness will even out during the
baking process.
